Abstract
Indirect polysegmental methods of bioimpedance analysis enable to minimize the number of electrodes placed on biological objects with complex geometry (such as human body).However, the borders of investigated regions and their anatomical structure have to be accurately described. For this, the mathematical method of sensivity analysis for various body regions and visualization of their borders using 7-segment BIA analysis with electrode placements at distal zones of the head and extremities is suggested. The model enables to visualize senstivity of various body segments using flat projection of the human body. Graphical examples are shown for the senstivity distribution of impedance parameters in torso, abdominal and aortal regions, as well as in arms, legs, and head. Also, the results of the central blood flow visualization in thoracic region by Kubicek are represented. In general, senstivity analysis can be used as a valuable tool for the substantiating the various diagnostic purposes in polysegmental and whole-body bioimpedance analysis.
